1. A Snuggle Puppy that's basically a miracle solution to helping ease your pup's loneliness and separation anxiety. It's especially perfect for those crate-training their furry bbs.
Back in 2020, my family made a wonderful decision to get an adorable Havanese puppy named Bailey (pictured left). He slept like an absolute angel the first night we brought him home so when he kept us up for six.whole.hours the night after and wouldn't stop crying the next day, we knew we needed to try something fast. A family friend recommended the Snuggle Puppy. Within a half hour of putting the little heart ticker into the stuffed toy and putting it in Bailey's crate, he was quiet and fast asleep while cuddling up to his new toy.
Two years later, the Snuggle Puppy is still Bailey's favorite toy — we just don't keep the heart ticker in there anymore. He has an entire crate of toys he BARELY touches solely because he loves the Snuggle Puppy so much. It is on the pricey side for a dog toy and he's currently on his fourth Snuggle Puppy because he's chewed off the ears and noses on the other ones, but seeing how attached he is to the puppy and how happy it makes him, it's 100% worth it. Truly cannot recommend this enough.
Get it from Amazon for $36.98+ (available in five colors).

It’s durable, no long straps or cords for them to chew on, they can hide in it and it’s big enough for them to cuddle together. We are so impressed we ordered another one to put on the second level of their cage. So pleased with this product!" —Dmarie

5. An adorable multilevel pet house ideal for pet rabbits or chickens. Barbie has her own dream house. Don't you think your perfect pet should have one, too?
Promising review: "This fits perfectly in our house, looks great, has no smells, and has given our bunny a great place to hang out! Only downside, if you have a bunny that really likes to chew, they may chew the asphalt surface off the ramp. I plan to just wrap our ramp with twine to be safe!" —Sarah
Get it from Walmart for $199.99.
6. A cat dancer toy so your furry friend can spend hours jumping, chasing, and well...dancing around as it plays. Not to mention, as a cat owner, you're in for a real treat watching them play with this. Get ready to smile, laugh, and take some epic photos.
Promising review: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him go wild. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I've never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo
Get it from Amazon for $1.73.
7. A Furbo dog camera that'll allow you to check in on your precious bb when you're not home. You can look at videos and photos through smart alerts, toss treats to your dog, and speak to them via two-way talk.
Promising review: "I was always concerned leaving my puppy home alone because he will cry a lot.. When I got Furbo, things got much better! Furbo sent me notifications to my phone when he was crying, so I would log on and talk to him right away. This changed everything!! My puppy knows I'm always there, so his separation anxiety is getting better. I feel much more relieved!" —Furbo Customer
8. A wall-mounted groomer toy so your kitty can enjoy all the scritches and have an easier time grooming themselves whenever they'd like — no more sad eyes when they want you to stop whatever it is you're doing and help them.
Plus, this comes with some catnip so you can lure your cat into using it!
Promising review: "So far so good. Our wee kitty does get a bit violent about her catnip, but once she gave up trying to get into the catnip chambers, she immediately started scratching her chin and cheeks with it. She sometimes has trouble grooming herself just because her fur is so long, so I'm hopeful this will help make her job easier." —Challenger2060
Get it from Amazon for $5.51.
9. Foldable pet steps to make it easier for your buddy to join you on the couch or in bed for ALL the snuggle sessions. 🤗
Promising review: "I bought this for my Yorkie mix puppy after he sprained his paw jumping from the high bed. He loves it. Helps so much and now it's the only way he gets up and down from the bed. Great buy!" —Yomaira Burgos
Get them from Amazon for $42.95+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
10. A hamster cage complete with a water bottle, exercise wheel, food dish, and hideout you'll love because it'll spare you from having to buy each item individually and your little bestie will love because, well, it'll be their fabulous safe haven.
Promising review: "I have purchased every kind of hamster cage there is over the years, and I think this one beats them all. The deep pan fully contains the bedding and gives plenty of space and depth for my pet to burrow around. It's about twice the size of your average Critter Trail cage, and it has well-defined corners, which help hamsters orient themselves. The wheel isn't silent but it doesn't squeak, and it's the best kind: solid, one-piece construction that's safe for tiny feet and tails, and also very easy to wipe clean. I love cleaning the cage, which is extremely easy. I make sure my hamster is on the lower level, then remove the wire top and the ramp." —Naya Tybs
Get it from Amazon for $74.99.
11. A three-tier cat tree to give your feline friend their own special spot in the house. Are you the best cat pawrent or what?!
12. An automatic pet feeder you can time to feed your pet throughout the day. Sometimes you want to binge-watch your favorite Netflix series or take a nice long nap without the thought of hungry, sad eyes guilting you.
You can schedule up to four automated feedings a day thanks to the built-in programmable timer. You can control food portions from 2 teaspoons to 4.5 cups per feeding. You can also record a message for your pet, like words of encouragement! The main food storage compartment can hold up to 20 cups of food. This requires three D batteries, which aren't included, but you can get some here.
Promising review: "Love this thing! My cats no longer beg me for food. Now they know when the feeder is going to go off each time and sometimes wait for it a few minutes before it goes off. I originally purchased this for when I went out of town for a few days, but I have ended up just using it constantly. Will be purchasing another for my dog eventually to keep them all on a good schedule." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $79.99.
13. A set of catnip-infused felt balls so you can treat your furry friend without having to deal with the mess from loose catnip. If your cat could talk, they would definitely be thanking you.
Simply B Vermont is a woman-owned small business based in Montpelier, Vermont that sells accessories and toys for cats and dogs.
Promising review: "My cats absolutely flipped for these felted balls! They are both catnip fiends, so I assumed these would be a hit, but I underestimated how much they'd love playing with them. A huge hit in our household!" —Danielle Taylor
Get a set of four from Simply B Vermont on Etsy for $13.99 (available in three colors).
14. A set of wooden toys to keep your hamster, rat, guinea pig, or chinchilla entertained all day, every day.
Promising review: "These hamster toys are fantastic. First of all, you’re getting an amazing deal for a large selection of toys for your hamster. I’ve only had to use two or three so far and none of them have even worn out yet. There is literally bound to be something your hamster will take a liking to in here. The one I found to be the best is the large hanging chew of the different log pieces. My hamster took a liking to it immediately and it’s still the one he uses the most. Honestly, I think this is a no-brainer purchase if you’re looking for good toys for your hamster." —Brent Schoffstall
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $17.99.
15. An oatmeal paw butter for relieving dry/cracked paws and noses. This can be used on both cats and dogs, is totally safe to consume if they lick it, and reviewers say it smells DELICIOUS.
Promising review: "The smell was amazing! Even my pickiest didn’t mind having this on his paws and he hates a lot of smells. It melts in quickly and leaves the paws soft and smooth. It does leave grease tracks on the floor so I wouldn’t use this on my carpet — I try to keep them to the tile until the paw butter absorbs into their paw. The product works well and smells good." —Jayme M
Get it from Amazon for $7.87.
16. A cat scratching post your feline will love getting their claws on. And you'll love it too because they'll finally (hopefully) stop using your furniture as a scratching post.
Promising review: "While I haven't gotten a chance to try the scratcher out personally, our cat loves it, and that's enough for me. Our surly and highly judgmental cat was gouging up the sofa and carpet until we got this excellent scratcher. I was impressed at how stable it is as our cat is not the most slender of creatures. But she hasn't knocked it over yet. The ball-on-a-string on top is a very clever feature as that was the first thing that got our cat's attention. Plus it's helping to keep her needle-like claws a more manageable." —Alan
Get it from Amazon for $25.99.
17. A pack of cheesy chews — edible chews with a real cheese flavor that won't splinter or break. Your gerbil, hamster, rat, mouse, and even bird will be very happy gnawing away at these. #Relatable because I am also happiest when eating cheese.
18. An elevated bowl set so your kitty can eat food and drink water more comfortably. You wouldn't like having to awkwardly crane your neck just to satisfy your hunger or quench your thirst, now would you?
This set comes with two cat face-shaped bowls and an adjustable stand!
Promising review: "I love this bowl set! The bowls are really cute and the holder is perfect. I was looking for something like this for my kitten who loves to dump his water bowl every chance he gets by putting his paw in it haha. These bowls fix this problem. As hard as he tried he can’t knock them over :) The holder is awesome too because when I’m cleaning the bowls, I put Hefty foam bowls in their place and it holds them perfectly! This is one of best products I’ve purchased for my cats :)" —Little Angel
Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in two sizes).
19. A darling tie-dye fleece hoodie because your dog deserves to rock a trendy sweatshirt this spring. They're gonna get a million and one compliments on their impeccable fashion sense. Don't worry, you can take alllll the credit.
Little Beast is an Asian woman-owned small business started by friends Jisu Kim and Lys Bui. The company donates 5% from every order to animal rescue non-profits.
Promising review: "We all love this hoodie — it’s almost too much cuteness. My dog is super huggable already but something about this technicolored fuzziness causes a whole new level of squeezing. The colors are great, the material is soft and fluffy, and the construction seems really durable. I haven’t washed it yet, but will take care to treat it gently." —loscorrals
Get it from Little Beast for $55 (available in sizes 2XS–XL) or Nordstrom for $33+ (available in two sizes).
20. A cat hammock so your cat can comfortably look out the window all day and soak in some gorgeous sun rays.

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in five colors).
21. An orthopedic dog bed featuring three-sided bolsters that double as pillows, high-density egg crate foam to provide comfort and support to your pet, a soft flannel cover, and a nonskid bottom. Uhhh can I request a bed like this to be made human-sized?
Promising review: "We love it! Most importantly, our beloved Shemar loves it! The bed is soft and the color is beautiful. Shemar hasn’t gotten out of it all day. He seems very relaxed and the bed’s material is comfortable and cozy. Would def recommend it. Shemar is 19 pounds and a miniature Schnauzer. He has some space left, which is perfect for when he stretches. We think the size is perfect for him. You can unzip the top part of the bed, so it looks like it will be easy to clean, too." —Rita Varela
Get it from Amazon for $33.14+ (available in four colors and sizes S–2XL).
22. A wall-mounted catnip toy made with four balls (catnip, silvervine, gall fruit, and cat sugar) that'll make your kitty super happy AND it'll help clean their teeth when they bite them.
Promising review: "I have never seen my cat so happy! He really liked his flavor explorer toy! It has very good adhesion and you can place it where you prefer, even on the floor. I think it is an excellent purchase to see my cat super happy!" —Karla Villafuerte
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
23. A flavored dog chew durable enough to last for a few weeks (rather than just a few days). And it comes in three pup-approved flavors.
Promising review: "Hands-down, this chew is our pup's favorite. And for us, it is a great way to positively redirect her puppy energy. On average, we purchase one bone a month, since it lasts about that long for her. The 3-prong wishbone design helps her grasp it as she chews." —Peter & Kellie
Get it from Amazon for $9.65+ (available in three flavors and four sizes).
24. A ball designed with ridges to create more bounce so you can bring a game of fetch to a whole new level of fun. Plus, it's waterproof and super durable!
Promising review: "Pricey ball but well constructed. Lasts longer in our house than most soft toys. Both German shepherd puppy and elderly beagle like this ball. Unusual shape to make carrying it challenging for the young one. Lightweight and slower bounce for older dog to chase." —Case
Get it from Chewy for $14.19+ (available in two sizes).
25. A no-drip hamster water bottle to ensure their cage stays nice and dry. How would you like it if every time you went to fill up a glass of water, it splattered all over your home? You wouldn't.
Promising review: "It never drips and is very easy to attach to the cage or readjust. It's a lot more secure (or at least feels a lot more secure) than bottles that are held in place by chains or wires. The product is separated into three parts (the attachment, the nozzle, and the actual bottle) and once the attachment is on the cage, it's very easy to take the nozzle and bottle off to refill (without having to readjust and position everything as with others) and you just snap the bottle back on when you're done. They've also never had any issues drinking from it, as with some other bottles where they have difficulty moving the ball." —Kristen L Crumpacker
Get it from Amazon for $11.49 (available in two styles and three colors).
26. A ScratchPad — a genius tool that'll allow your pup to file their own nails. Say goodbye to scary clippers and noisy grinders you both hate and hello to this wonderful invention.
ScratchPad is a small business based in Atlanta, Georgia that sells, well, the ScratchPad, a fancy name for a nail file for dogs!
Promising review: "Highly recommend this product! After three months of challenges to cut the nails of our German shepherd, this product saved the day!!! We are now able to file his nails in a non-invasive way. Excellent customer service and fast international shipping." —Michelle Rosenberg
Get it from ScratchPad on Etsy for $44.95+ (available in three materials and four styles).
27. A super cool cat tunnel bed to double as a rest/play spot for your adorable feline friend.
28. A box of dog macarons (yes, you read that right) for treating your best friend in the best way possible — with a boujee French-inspired snack, of course.
Plus, there's a bunch of delish flavors to choose from like lavender, vanilla, birthday cake, and salted caramel — just to name a few.
Promising review: "I did not taste them, but my pup says they are delicious! They look like human macarons. Very pretty and beautifully packaged. A little spendy, but a nice treat for special occasions! The seller is quick at responding to messages which I appreciated! Would buy again!" —Anonymous
Get a pack of six from Amazon and Bonne et Filou for $23.99 (available in 12 flavors).
29. A realistic-looking food dog toy that may not stop your pup from begging for the real stuff when you eat it, but it sure will help to keep them entertained!
